iWay Software has brought together iWays industry-leading application integration technology and the Google Search Appliance to create a completely new way to tap information within the integrated enterprise.

Enterprise data flows throughout an enterprise in hundreds of different ways. Organizations communicate with external entities using EDI messages, XML documents, and flat files; developers use the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) to work with ERP systems; and most organizations are beginning to use Web services to communicate internally or externally to achieve a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

Until now, there was no way to make all of this data available to end users in an easy-to-use, easy-to-maintain way. The iWay Enterprise Index, however, taps into these streams of information, transforms them into more usable and uniform XML-based formats, and prepares them for searching by end users.

The result is rapid, at-your-fingertips easy retrieval of information that previously would have been locked up in proprietary information systems.
